Pore network models have been applied widely for simulating a variety of different physical
and chemical processes, including phase exchange, non-Newtonian displacement, non …

Concrete can be considered as a heterogeneous material at mesoscale comprising of
several constituents such as aggregates, mortar and Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) …

This study presents a numerical model to characterize the fracture process of a reinforced
concrete (RC) beam strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) in detail. A numerical …

In this study, several three-point-bending (TPB) experiments were conducted to investigate
the influence of fiber content on the fracture behavior of hooked-end steel fiber-reinforced …

ABSTRACT The Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) has been developed to estimate the strength
distributions of heterogeneous materials influenced by different factors. The method …

The external bonding of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets is a widely used method for
strengthening and rehabilitating existing concrete structures. The premature failure of these …

Soil-rock mixtures (SRMs) are the main unfavorable geologic bodies in Southwest China.
This paper presents a novel mesoscale computational modeling study of SRMs with …

Accurate prediction of fracture in concrete depends on the characterization of real meso-
structures. Micro X-ray computed tomography (CT) can fulfil this task but is still too expensive …

This paper reports on a series of four-point bending experiments to investigate the shear
capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded basalt fiber …

This work addresses a knowledge gap in meso-scale modelling of concrete–the effect of
selected computational ITZ thickness on predicted macroscopic behaviour. A novel …
